I'm not sure what you mean here. A shapefile is not "in seconds" or
"decimal degrees". The geometry part (*.shp) is a binary representation
of X-Y coordinates, as simple numbers. If the shapefile also has a *.prj
file, then that should contain its projection information.
If you have attribute columns (in the *.dbf part of the shapefile) with
X-Y coordinates, then you can format these columns any way you like
using, for example, Openoffice Calc. But this will *have no effect* on
the geographic location of the features in the shapefile.
So, the important question is: do the shapefiles overlay correctly? If
not, then you need to reproject one shapefile to the projection of the
others.
Hope that's clear...

degrees. Can I create a proj4 setup that'll match them with my
WGS84(+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +no_defs) shape files? The only
thing that's different from the WGS84 is the seconds instead of
decimal degrees. I tried to add a unit specification but that didn't
work.
Thanks.
